    I still have not seen the movie. But looking forward to a really great movie. How could it not be with so many big names cast in the movie. :) :)

    Went to see Scott Pilgrim and Expendables on the same night. I would recommend seeing Scott Pilgrim if you were to see only one. Expendables was a good movie though, SP was just better.

    Guess I made the insta-ban list of Kyoji ;P

    ok, well here's a good question for you or anyone that has seen them both.

    which one is more of a "must see" on the big screen?

    This movie sucked, I'm absolutely flabbergasted people are saying to watch this. There are tons of simple action movies with horrible plots worth seeing.. This is not one of them.

    If you like sweet fight scenes & kill moves...The Expendables has it. If you like action thriller...Salt has it. If you like comedy & silliness...Scott Pilgrim has it. WTF do u like? :p

    I saw both, one right after the other. Scott Pilgrim is one of those "watch once, enjoy thoroughly" movies, whereas The Expendables was... boring. I'm all for mindless action flicks, but if I'm watching one I'm looking for something else to hook me. Usually it's cheesiness. Judge Dredd style.

    Everyone expecting to go into the Expendables with that insanely awesome cast to see a "story" is out of their minds.
